Bible Discussion Thread

Why is their incest in Genesis? I think it is disgusting and it makes me worry about whether Christianity is bad.

Hello, the Bible gives the history of people, which includes the good and bad of what they did. Are you assuming that because the Bible covers history that it somehow recommends advocates for it? If so, that would be a false assumption. People did much evil then just like people do much evil today and the Bible talked about it. There's many stories of hope and encouragement like Paul converting from a murderer to a loving person who spent the rest of his life trying to help others. So, the Bible is not 'bad' because it accurately covered the life of people just as it would be strange to claim a that a history book is 'bad' for including true events, or that a documentary is 'bad' for accurately covering events. Some people write biographies that show unpleasant experiences in their own life, does that mean the biography is bad because it's reflects reality? I hope I have sufficiently explained the reason why the Bible should not be to blame for the evil that people did- that's not fault of the Bible for being true.

Very good and true points. "The Bible gives the history of people, which includes the good and bad of what they did. People did much evil then just like people do much evil today " That's why we all need Christ.

The scriptures are the infallible word of God. It is inspired and written by Holy men who were chosen and moved spiritually to reveal Gods word. I rest my whole faith my whole being on His word. This is more than a book. In it you will find eternal life! You will find salvation in no other than the prophecy and death and Resurrection found in the history of the salvation of mankind through the Son of God.
